The Exhumation History of North Qaidam Thrust Belt Constrained by Apatite Fission Track Thermochronology: Implication for the Evolution of the Tibetan Plateau

Determining the spatio-temporal distribution of the deformation tied to the India-Eurasian convergence and the impact of pre-existing weaknesses on the Cenozoic crustal deformation is significant for understanding how the convergence between India and Eurasia contributed to the development of the Tibetan Plateau. The exhumation history of the northeastern Tibetan Plateau was addressed in this research using a new apatite fission track (AFT) study in the North Qaidam thrust belt (NQTB). Three granite samples collected from the Qaidam Shan pluton in the north tied to the Qaidam Shan thrust, with AFT ages clustering in the Eocene to Miocene. The other thirteen samples obtained from the Luliang Shan and Yuka plutons in the south related to the Luliang Shan thrust and they have showed predominantly the Cretaceous AFT ages. Related thermal history modeling based on grain ages and track lengths indicates rapid cooling events during the Eocene-early Oligocene and since late Miocene within the Qaidam Shan, in contrast to those in the Cretaceous and since the Oligocene-Miocene in the Luliang Shan and Yuka region. The results, combined with published the Cretaceous thermochronological ages in the Qaidam Shan region, suggest that the NQTB had undergo rapid exhumation during the accretions along the southern Asian Andean-type margin prior to the India-Eurasian collision. The Cenozoic deformation initially took place in the North Qaidam thrust belt by the Eocene, which is consistent with the recent claim that the deformation of the northeastern Tibetan Plateau initiated in the Eocene as a response to continental collision between India and Eurasia. The immediate deformation responding to the collision is tentatively attributed to the pre-existing weaknesses of the lithosphere, and therefore the deformation of the northeastern Tibetan Plateau should be regarded as a boundary-condition-dependent process.

三峡工程对宜昌-监利河段水温情势的影响分析

三峡工程蓄水使得下游长江河道水温情势发生显著变化,并对下游生态环境产生重要影响。基于宜昌水文站14年的实测资料,采用纵向一维水温模型模拟分析了宜昌至监利300 km河道水温变化过程,探讨了不同蓄水期三峡工程下泄水温变化对坝下鱼类产卵场的影响程度。结果表明:①三峡工程蓄水后宜昌断面水温出现了平坦化及延迟现象,低温水和高温水效应明显;175 m蓄水期宜昌断面4月、12月,水温分别较蓄水前改变-4.3℃、3.7℃。②三峡工程的运行使得下游河道水气热交换量发生变化,但干流流量较大使得水温沿程恢复效果较弱;工程调蓄对坝下河段的影响占主导作用,三峡工程调蓄对监利断面4月、12月存在-3.2℃、3.0℃的温度影响。③三峡工程蓄水后,宜昌中华鲟产卵场冬季20.0℃的水温出现时间推迟1~4旬,监利四大家鱼产卵场春季18.0℃的水温出现时间推迟1~3旬,并随着蓄水位的抬升,推迟幅度逐渐加大。     

钦-杭成矿带东段村前含矿斑岩地球化学特征及其构造环境与成矿意义

村前铜多金属矿床位于钦杭成矿带东段,为一具有矽卡岩型矿化和斑岩型矿化的铜多金属矿床,含矿岩体为燕山早期花岗闪长斑岩,岩石具有富硅、富铝、富碱的特点,属于偏铝-过铝质钙碱性花岗岩类。岩体具有从深部向浅部蚀变增强,大部分组分活动性不明显,而成矿元素Cu-Mo-Fe-Pb-Zn-Au-Ag含量明显增加,Na2O、Sr含量降低,REE元素除Eu少量丢失外,其余均呈一致的迁入特征。岩体属Ⅰ型花岗质岩石,由具角闪石+石榴子石残留相的火成岩部分熔融形成的熔浆,混合或混染了地壳重熔型岩浆上侵就位而成。钦杭结合带东段,燕山期中酸性岩浆活动具有从176~150Ma的埃达克岩或具岛弧花岗岩特征的Ⅰ型花岗岩,至150~140Ma的S型花岗岩,向140~110Ma的A型花岗岩演化趋势,显示了地壳由厚减薄的过程,暗示其大地构造背景为岩石圈的伸展减薄环境,而形成于169.3±1.1Ma的村前斑岩体正处于伸展阶段早期。综合岩体成矿特征表明,钦杭成矿带东段及邻近地区,176~160Ma主要形成与Ⅰ型花岗质岩石有关的以Cu为主的多金属矿床;160~150Ma主要形成与Ⅰ型花岗质岩石有关的Cu-Mo矿床与W-Sn矿床;150~140Ma主要形成与S型花岗质岩石有关的以W-Sn-Mo为主的多金属矿床,以及以Ag-Pb-Zn为主的多金属矿床;140~110Ma主要形成与A型花岗质岩石有关的以W-Sn-Mo为主的多金属矿床,少量与Ⅰ型花岗质岩石有关的Pb-Zn矿床。     

华南大规模低温成矿的主要科学问题

大面积低温成矿是全球独特的重要成矿事件。华南地区扬子地块西南部面积约50万平方千米的广大范围,低温矿床广泛发育,包括卡林型金矿床、MVT型Pb-Zn矿床和脉型锑、汞、砷等矿床,构成华南低温成矿域。该成矿域由川滇黔接壤区的Pb-Zn、右江盆地Au-Sb-As-Hg和湘中盆地Sb-Au等三个矿集区组成。其中的矿床主要赋存于沉积岩中,受断裂构造控制,形成于100~250℃的低温条件下。以往的研究取得了重要进展,但成矿时代、成矿动力学背景、成矿物质基础和成矿过程等关键科学问题一直悬而未决。近年的研究表明,这些矿床可能形成于200~230Ma(印支期)和130~160Ma(燕山期)两个时期,除川滇黔Pb-Zn矿集区由盆地卤水演化成矿外,其余两个矿集区的形成可能均受印支期和燕山期的深部岩浆活动驱动,尽管成矿流体中的水主要是大气成因地下水。本专题报道了近年来这些方面的最新研究进展,包括20篇文章,主要涉及这些低温矿床的地质地球化学特征、成矿时代、矿床成因和成矿动力学背景等。     

北方某经济开发区地下水污染调查评价

本文应用污染指数法,对北方某经济开发区及周边地下水水质进行了污染评价,结果表明研究区地下水水质以轻污染和中污染为主,局部地区出现较重污染,主要指标为硝酸盐氮、三氯甲烷和三氯乙烯。通过对工业废水、再生水、河水水质的检测,发现研究区地表水水质与污水处理厂再生水排放密切相关,地下水污染很可能与开发区企业排污有关。由于开发区所处位置的环境敏感性和脆弱性,建议今后在开发区及附近继续开展相关研究,进一步查明地下水的硝酸盐氮及有机污染物来源、污染途径,建立完善的监测体系,以便及时切断污染源,保障城市及当地供水安全。     

南岭东段含稀土矿花岗岩体中暗色包体地质特征——以陂头岩体为例

在野外地质调查和室内综合研究的基础上,通过研究南岭东段风化壳淋积型矿中含稀土矿花岗岩层中暗色包体的地质特征,发现分布在岩体中的大量暗色包体具流面和流线构造,主要组成矿物为石英、辉石和斜长石,具典型的辉长结构。暗色包体低硅、钾和钠,高钙、铝、镁、铁、钛和锰,属亚碱性—铝不饱和型;富集U、La、Pr、Nd、Sm、Dy,亏损Nb、Sr、Zr、Hf、Ti等微量元素;REE总量低于寄主含矿花岗岩层稀土总量,Ce和Eu具有明显的负异常。这些特征说明暗色包体的原岩可能来自早期基性岩,其形成与燕山早期陂头岩体的分异演化关系密切。与南岭地区花岗岩中此类暗色包体进行对比,有助于在该区寻找稀土矿床和稀有金属矿床。     

基于稳定同位素的东太平洋大青鲨(Prionace glauca)营养级研究

碳、氮稳定同位素为分析淡水和海洋生态系统的生物营养关系提供了有力手段,但在大洋鱼类中的应用还很少。本研究以热带东太平洋大青鲨(Prionace glauca)整节脊椎骨作为样品(叉长范围153—242cm),运用稳定同位素技术,分析大青鲨的δ~(13)C值和δ~(15)N值及其变化,比较不同基线生物的选择对营养级计算的影响。结果表明,大青鲨δ~(13)C范围为–15.76‰—–13.41‰,最大差值2.35‰;δ~(15)N范围为10.62‰—17.72‰,最大差值7.1‰;δ~(13)C值和δ~(15)N值随个体长度的变化不明显(可能原因是样品鱼均为较大个体),性别间的差异不显著,但不同基线生物的选择对营养级计算值的影响较大。本文研究表明,通过整节脊椎骨的稳定同位素测定来获得大青鲨的摄食特征信息是可行的。由于基线生物对营养级计算的影响问题难以在短期内解决,今后可将相对营养级或营养级的变化作为重点,研究人类活动(如捕捞)对大洋鱼类摄食和营养级的影响。     

温度、盐度和光照对浒苔生长和光合作用的影响

Intensive Pyropia aquaculture in the coast of southwestern Yellow Sea and its subsequent waste, including disposed Ulva prolifera, was speculated to be one of the major sources for the large-scale green tide proceeding in the Yellow Sea since 2007. It was, however, unclear how the detached U. prolifera responded and resumed growing after they detached from its original habitat. In this study, we investigated the growth and photosynthetic response of the detached U. prolifera to various temperature, salinity and irradiance in the laboratory. The photosynthetic rate of the detached U. prolifera was significantly higher at moderate temperature levels(14–27°C)and high salinity(26–32), with optimum at 23°C and 32. Both low(14°C) and highest temperature(40°C), as well as low salinity(8) had adverse effects on the photosynthesis. Compared with the other Ulva species, U. prolifera showed higher saturated irradiance and no significant photoinhibition at high irradiance, indicating the great tolerance of U. prolifera to the high irradiance. The dense branch and complex structure of floating mats could help protect the thalli and reduce photoinhibition in field. Furthermore, temperature exerted a stronger influence on the growth rate of the detached U. prolifera compared to salinity. Overall, the high growth rate of this detached U. prolifera(10.6%–16.7% d~(–1)) at a wide range of temperature(5–32°C) and salinity(14–32) implied its blooming tendency with fluctuated salinity and temperature during floating. The environmental parameters in the southwestern Yellow Sea at the beginning of green tide were coincident with the optimal conditions for the detached U. prolifera.
